Gasoline inventories rose by 1.5 million barrels, though distillates fell, EIA said.

However, any interpretations of an oversupplied market moving towards a balance become questionable if product stocks start rising, especially gasoline, which should now be seeing a seasonal hump in demand. While that news is particularly shocking, gasoline inventories saw a rather unexpected build of 1.374 million barrels-analysts were expecting a 2.2-million-barrel draw for the fuel instead.
